Spending eight days on an Erasmus project in Italy was an enriching experience, off ering a vibrant exchange of cultures among participants from Sweden, Spain, Latvia, and Italy. Each day was filled with activities and workshops aimed at fostering cultural understanding and collaboration. We learned about History and Geography, Green practices and Language; also we have deepened our understanding of traditional cuisine through cooking and have created social media content as you can see in the Interculture Recipe Book we have made.

From the Swedes, we learned about their traditions, cuisine, and the Swedish way of life, which emphasizes sustainability and social welfare. The Spanish participants introduced us to their cheerful traditions, fl amenco dance, and the rich history that shapes their modern culture. The Latvians shared their unique folklore, traditional dances, and the signifi cance of their natural landscapes in everyday life.

Our Italian hosts provided an immersive experience into their culture, with an historical tour of Villa Mazzotti, amazing meals cooked in a traditional way and some typical italian games. Additionally, the Italian team arranged for groups of participants to dine with local Italian families, off ering a fi rsthand experience of authentic Italian hospitality and home-cooked meals. This unique opportunity allowed us to connect more deeply with the local culture and people, making the exchange even more memorable.

On the last day of the project, the oratory hosted the 10th anniversary of Youmore. For the occasion, participants gathered together with some families from the local community, sharing moments of fun, music and typical dances and letting the culture flows in all of us.
The project not only broadened our perspectives but also forged lasting friendships and a deeper appreciation for the diversity within Europe
